Chocolate Icing

I love icing. Always have, always will. And it will forever give me a tummy ache upon eating it, which is why it was necessary for me to come up with some sort of yummy alternative. I’ve heard of people making this type of plant-based frosting before so I decided to try it out. The first couple times were unsuccessful (to say the least), but I have finally figured it out. The next time you bake cupcakes and need frosting, absolutely do not buy something pre made in a can! Invest in some healthy cacao powder and agave and make this wholesome version instead.

Ingredients:

-1 ripe avocado
-1/4 cup raw cacao powder
-1/4 cup agave nectar

Directions:

1) Place the 3 ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. It should look like a rich, dark chocolaty frosting. If it’s not sweet enough for you, you can add in some more agave.
